Product Information
Virginia Woolf started to write a biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's spaniel after finishing The Waves, structuring it like a human biography and tracing the life of the spaniel from birth to death. But Flush is much more than a playful writer's holiday. As well as offering an exploration of a life of the senses, free from the tyranny of words, it can be read as an allegorical testimony to the inscrutable, discarded, unrepresentable lives of the Victorian women poets who were barely discussed or read in the 1930s. Charming yet also radical, Flush is a work of sensuous imagination, an apparently light text that opens up a ranges of questions about difference which are woven through the whole of Woolf's writing.Product Identifiers
